The Painter House is a mansion in Raleigh, North Carolina. Located in North Ridge Country Club, the home was originally owned by Dean Painter Jr. and Wendy Painter. It was later purchased by Russian-Israeli businessman Leonid Teyf. On December 5, 2018, the house was raided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as part of a criminal investigation into Teyf's businesses.

History

The house was built between 1998 and 2000 for Dean Painter Jr., a businessman, and his wife, the investor and socialite Wendy Petchul Painter. [1] [2] Following their divorce, the house was acquired solely by Wendy Painter. [3] She was known to host lavish fundraisers and social events at the home. [2] The house was sold following Wendy Painter's death in 2010. [4]

The 16,856-square-foot house, located along the 18th green in North Ridge Country Club, sits on 1.8 acres. [1] The house includes a 5,000-square-foot living room, a 1,000-square-foot foyer, nine fireplaces, eight bedrooms, eight bathrooms, six half-bathrooms, two elevators, a heated four-car garage, a catering kitchen, an imperial staircase, hydronic heated limestone floors, two laundry rooms, a safe room, a gym, a wine cellar and tasting room, and a sauna. [1] [5] The exterior of Painter House includes a 2,900-square-feet of covered porches and verandas. [1] The estate includes two outdoor bars, a fire pit, an outdoor spa, and a saltwater pool. [1]

In 2014, the home was purchased by Russian-Israeli businessman Leonid Teyf. [6] [7] On December 5, 2018, the home was raided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as part of an investigation into Teyf's criminal activity. [8] Federal agents seized cash, diamond jewelry, art, and luxury cars from the property as part of the investigation into the Teyf family's involvement in multimillion-dollar businesses, murder-for-hire, money laundering, and a $150 million kickback scheme with the Russian military. [9] [10] Leonid Teyf pleaded guilty to money laundering, visa fraud, making false statements on tax returns, and bribery of a public official and was imprisoned. [6] Teyf surrendered $6 million in assets but kept the mansion, now owned solely by his wife, Tatyana Teyf. [6]

In 2019, the house was listed as the fifth-most expensive house in Wake County. [11]

In August 2024, the house was withdrawn from a luxury auction. [12] It was previously listed on the market for $10 million. [13]
